Hi from somewhere in Britain!

I am coming back to photography courtesy of the wonderful, small but very capable, Olympus E-PL1!

I am on a tight budget, like so many people these days, and am here primarily to investigate how I can cut costs by using adapted lenses with my camera.

It is so good to find a Micro 4/3 dedicated site, it will I hope make my endeavours a bit easier.

Just so you all know, I am on the lookout for a Tamron 90mm f2.5 adaptall 2 lens for my Macro needs and want to acquire more advice/info concerning other good Prime, Telephoto and Zoom lenses that I could use.

Well I hope this will be a good place to be, and certainly it looks like it from the wide subject matter in the forums listings!

I will say that the only single expensive purchase I am going to make for my E-PL1, will be the VF-2 as I am long-sighted and it will both be better for my vision as well as beating the reflection problems when using the LCD screen!

The VF-2 is an incredibly useful accessory. You'll really enjoy it. Even if you prefer the LCD most of the time, when you do need the VF-2 there's no replacement. It has 100% coverage with 1.15x magnification, just like our pro-grade Oly DSLRs.

I've always heard good things about the Tamron 90mm/2.5 Adaptall, though I use the Kiron 105mm/2.8 for my macro. I was very close to getting another 90mm/2.5 instead....
